Song of the Week - Freak Like Me

Sometimes I am so focused on the American pop scene, that when someone bursts onto iTunes, I assume they are brand new. This is a bad habit and from hence forth, I will no longer do this. In actuality, many people come over from Europe and other regions where they are already well established. This lady has taken a stab at music in Europe, doing fairly well, and now has set her sights on North America.

 

The song itself isn't anything groundbreaking. It is a song about freaky sex and female power. The song actually sounds like an early 00's Britney Spears song -- over sex and in your face. She even has the same kind of raspy moan-singing that Brit has become known for. But for some reason I really like this song. Its catchy. It may be just what we need to shake the pop scene out of it's current "partyin' at the club" obsession.

While not entirely original or poetic, it does what it sets out to do, and does it well. It is simply a sexual in-your-face song. People may be uncomfortable listening to it, but then what fun would it be if people didn't? Plus, having the amazingly sexy Antonio Sabato Jr. in the video is a total plus!
